Peek-a-boo

We are back from the beach. We had a fabulous time!! Im ready to go back now that I've had a couple of days to rest from my short vacation. Why is it you are always sooo tired coming back from a vacation?!LOL!!

I started coloring this peekaboo girl from Bugaboo stamps for the ColorQ challenge before we left and wasnt able to finish my card until yesterday. As soon as I saw the colors I knew they were the colors in the retired SU autumn vine dp. Now that I've got my card made and posted I think thats actually more mustard instead of so saffron in the dp but oh well!LOL! I also used Jens sfytt for my layout which was perfect since I went diggin through my buttons and found these sage buttons! yayy! The smile sentiment is from Amy R's summer sentiments. I love the font of her sentiments! I need ALL of them!LOL!! Well thats all for me today. I still have tons of laundry to get done-my least fave thing!LOL! Have a good one!

Buggin you

Ahhh summer...so glad its finally here!! Ive been enjoying this past week with my family. I dont think we've been home other than to sleep any day this past week including this week so far!LOL! I wanted to share a few cards with you over the next couple of days I made on my on again off again blogging/stamping this past year. Bless you if you still visit me!LOL! Its been a year for me but things are starting to look up so Im happy for that!

I came across Bugaboo stamps one day while going through blogs (I think its was Jeanie aka Spotted Chick)and they had this adorable ladybug image as a freebie. I was too excited! I wanted to play with the fun Twitterpated dp I only used once last year so I colored the image to match the dp and pulled out this ribbon I picked up at Micheals. When I finished coloring the image with copics I decided to try out grass again and was pretty happy until my g28 copic bled a few times. I was so mad but loved how everything else turned out so I decided to just keep the image. I sponged the edges with the closest ink I had to the cloud piece of dp but its still more off than I like. I also used a sketch that of course I didnt get this posted in time for and have no idea which sketch it was now. Im so looking forward to this summer and getting back into stamping and blogging and commenting!LOL! AND actually doing challenges on time!!! Have a great day!
